Buffalo is officially being recognized as one of America's friendliest cities.

Locals from cities across the U.S. were asked to share "what their city was best at," and Buffalo scored highest on hospitality toward tourists, neighborly love, manners, politeness and warm dispositions. So, as part of its "Good Goes Round" program, local resident Cheerios is taking over the city and has asked former Buffalo Bills player and local legend Thurman Thomas to kick-off the celebrations to continue to spread the good throughout the city.

From 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Thurman Thomas and Cheerios will take over Buffalo to celebrate America's friendliest city with several events, including:

•A breakfast celebration at Fountain Plaza with free breakfast and a meet-and-greet with Thomas (7:30-9:30 a.m.), open to the public.
